Pride constituent (4)

I believe the answer is:

lion

(Other definitions for lion that I've seen before include "Carnivorous 6" , "Buddhist scripture; Sanskrit rule" , "Large cat; rugby player" , "Wild cat" , "Cowardly visitor in Oz" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the LA Times.
